WOOD family (Tasmania)

[Dundee]

Hi alexandramac,

That marriage is not her.  The marriage is on FamilySearch as part of their Tas indexing project - she was born in SA in 1887, parents John WOOD and Janet McDONALD.

Hi Dundee, Sorry I thought that was her  .....also had the death cert sent to me for the Florence Wood who died in 1893.  She was classed as a spinster. and died of pnemonia.  There are no family details on the register entry but its possible.  Age is right.....

1935 Marriage announcement for Florence Dolly WOOD dau of the late Mr and Mrs Thomas WOOD of New Town.

I do think these details provide enough evidence that the Florence E who married Harry MILLS is the daughter of Thomas who died in 1919.  Her death notice in 1937 names her as Florence Evelyn (nee Dolly WOOD).

If you wanted to get that 1935 (according to the newspaper announcement the marriage was on 18 August 1934) marriage cert you need to apply to the Tas Registry.  Access to marriage records is available to anyone after 75 years, so it just makes the cutoff date.

I would mention that the 1893 death for a Florence WOOD shows her age as 37 years ie born c1856 so I gather you are asssuming she is Florence Amelia, the dau of Thomas WOOD and Mary Ann ALBURY? There was another birth in Hobart 1856 for a Florence WOOD with parents Alfred WOOD and Amelia UNKNOWN.

The death notice:

WOOD - On September 15, at her father's residence, "Derry House," 53, Argyle-street, Florence, the second beloved daughter of  Alfred and Amelia Wood, aged 37 years.

So that means the Florence Amelia born 1856 with parents Thomas and Mary Ann died 1858 - no parents mentioned however she was 2 years of age.

Now back to Thomas who married Eliza WATKINS in 1872.

Thomas was born in 1846, child of Thomas Wood and Mary Ann Albury.  He married an Eliza Louisa Watkins in Tasmania in 1846.

and died in 1919.

Marriage notice states is he the son of Thomas WOOD of Kangaroo Valley.

Is it possible he formed a relationship with Margaret G as his wife Eliza Louisa WATKINS had gone to Victoria and remarried.  Meanwhile Thomas has four children [1881, 1883, 1885 and 1887]in Tas with Margaret G.

It would be interesting to see the Eliza's status on this marriage certificate.

If possible I would like some help with finding my grandmothers birth registration about 1886  May Julia Wood is according to her 1912 marriage cert the child of Thomas Henry Wood and Florence Eveline Watson.  She had a brother also Thomas and a sister also Florence.

Found the marriage certificate online - no mention of an Eveline as a 2nd given name for mother of the bride.

May Julia WOOD 26 years of Newtown born Sandy Bay, Tasmania
Father Thomas Henry WOOD [who also signed as a witness]
Mother Florence WOOD [maiden surname WATSON]

A photo of the happy couple with the parents of the bride.  The parents of the bride look more like siblings of the bride than parents.  Perhaps this is the photo referred to earlier in the thread

Where else is Thomas WOOD b. 1846 referred to as Thomas Henry WOOD. 

I've compared the two Thomas WOOD signatures - 1872 marriage and 1912 marriage and in my opinion, they are not the same.  I'll attach them, however they are small.  I can't modify my posts to remove them if they are illegible.

[Dundee]

I think siblings also - goodness me, father Thomas was 66 years old.  He must have found the fountain of youth 

I also think brother and sister were the witnesses though the second signature has been cut off.
